Examples

The following example demonstrates the SchemaClassName and SchemaEntry properties of the DirectoryEntry class. This example gets the user-specified DirectoryEntry object and gets all of its children if the SchemaEntry object is a container object. The SchemaEntry is a container object if the Name of that object is "container".

Dim myADSPath As String = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"  

' Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.  
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword)  

' Display the 'SchemaClassName'.  
Console.WriteLine("Schema class name:" + myDirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName)  

' Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS object.  
Dim mySchemaEntry As DirectoryEntry = myDirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry  

If String.Compare(mySchemaEntry.Name, "container") = 0 Then  
   Dim myChildDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry  
   For Each myChildDirectoryEntry In  myDirectoryEntry.Children  
      Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path)  
   Next  
String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";  

// Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.  
DirectoryEntry  myDirectoryEntry=new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword);  

// Display the 'SchemaClassName'.  
Console.WriteLine("Schema class name:"+myDirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName);  

// Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS object.  
DirectoryEntry mySchemaEntry = myDirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry;  

if (string.Compare(mySchemaEntry.Name,"container") == 0)  
{  
   foreach(DirectoryEntry myChildDirectoryEntry in myDirectoryEntry.Children)  
      Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path);  
}  
String^ myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";  

// Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.  
DirectoryEntry^ myDirectoryEntry = gcnew DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword);  

// Display the 'SchemaClassName'.  
Console::WriteLine("Schema class name:{0}", myDirectoryEntry->SchemaClassName);  

// Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS Object*.  
DirectoryEntry^ mySchemaEntry = myDirectoryEntry->SchemaEntry;  

if (!String::Compare(mySchemaEntry->Name, S"container"))   
{  
    Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = myDirectoryEntry->Children->GetEnumerator();  
    while (myEnum->MoveNext())   
    {  
        DirectoryEntry^ myChildDirectoryEntry = safe_cast<DirectoryEntry^>(myEnum->Current);  
        Console::WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry->Path);  
    }  
}
